COSC 29.05 Digital Fabrication

Artists, designers, creators, and makers increasingly use digital fabrication methods in both two and three dimensions as a means of designing, rapid prototyping and manufacturing. This class uses digital fabrication tools in a studio setting. Students learn digital fabrication through a series of 2D and 3D design projects and through critical discussions of the aesthetic, sociological and practical implications of integrating digital tools and materiality into the design and build process. 

 Students will have hands-on training in the process of creating and converting computer generated drawings and models into physical objects through the use of 2D and 3D scanners, laser-cutters, wire benders, cnc routers and 3D printers. No previous experience needed.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
